AMD's Ryzen 9000-series processors are out and about. In general, the family's power efficiency is a highlight, and they've rightfully taken some places on our list of best CPUs, but there are those out there that wish for a little more on the performance side of things. Enabling AMD's own PBO2 setting will give you a bit of a boost, but MSI's engineers have been hard at work too, and the company is releasing new motherboard BIOSes with what it calls PBO Enhanced modes, which take things a step further.
MSI's PBO Enhanced features three modes, simply named 1,2 and 3, with Mode 3 being the most aggressive. According to MSI, the Ryzen 9 9950X can gain nearly 10% in the Cinebench R23 multithreaded test when Mode 3 is enabled. Not a bad gain at all.
